Day 13

Yeah...nothing got done on Day 12. Predictable....here's a summary. Gorgeous day. I went to my parents house and saw baby ducks on Boughton. Listened to Sublime for the first time in a long time. Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast. Cleaned house a little. Went to Tommy Nevin's for the Hawks game. Watched the game outside because it was so nice out. Hawks win. Drank a little too much. Played bags. The end. All in all....a pretty great Sunday.

On to Monday...the first thing I wanted to talk about was "House". Spoiler alert here. "House" was emotional and heart-wrenching and riveting tonight. It was everything a great hour of television should be. I will admit that I cried a little bit. And then came the last two minutes of the episode and just negated everything the previous 59 minutes had done (yes...the show was 61 minutes long.) Cuddy showing up and professing her love for House while he lay reeling and broken on the floor THE LAMEST, CHEESIEST, BULLSHIT ENDING I MAY HAVE EVER SEEN TO A SEASON OF A GOOD TELEVISION SHOW. And House's reaction....gawd. "Really? You think I can be fixed?" Oh. My. God. Why? The whole time I was all...pleasebeahallucinationpleasebeahallucination...not that that would have ideal but it least it wouldn't have been what was actually happening. And then House is all, "Wait a second....how do I know this isn't a hallucination?" Ok. But no...IT WASN'T!

Let me just say that I do enjoy happy endings and I'm actually quite fine with "House" going with this storyline for House and Cuddy. What I can't deal with is the way they did it. This was not an episode that deserved a happy ending. It dealt with real human emotion and the painful randomness of life and death and love. This ending was a slap in the face to all who were moved by the soul crushing humanity of the first 59 minutes because SHIT LIKE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. Somebody doesn't just up and leave the comfort of a safe, committed relationship on a whim simply because she has had a stressful day and the brilliant but toxic fuck up she has been rebuffing for years opened up his heart for 60-seconds of moving dialogue. BAD WRITERS!

Still a good show...I just don't like seeing them do something like this.
